It also covers physiotherapists that are employed in businesses that were covered under the old federal system such as Pty Ltd businesses and practices in the ACT, NT and Victoria.¹

Employers, employees and contractors should go to the Fair Work Online website at www.fairwork.gov.au for information on the changes and, to access the new Modern Award that now applies to physiotherapists.
